**Saber - The Restaurant District, Yggdrasil**

Good, good, everyone was getting to safety. She would have liked if they got as far as they could, but at least they had made it to cover. Well, aside from that one larger man, who... jumped on the table and promptly fell through it. Saber swiftly ran to his side. He was not a UMMA agent and therefore needed to swiftly proceed to safely. "Are you injured? You must get to safety, it is not-"

She was interrupted by a gunshot behind her. The bullet struck her armor, but as it evidently lacked magical capabilities, it wasn't so much as able to scratch it. Saber swiftly spun, her eyes locking on a man wearing a coat and hat, holding a pistol. He let out a stream of obscenities upon seeing that his bid to take out a UMMA agent had failed. Had Saber been a civilian or a less-protected agent, the shot could have caused injury or death...

With a burst of speed, she lunged for the man, Excalibur slicing the air as Invisible Air swirled around it. Those in battle should anticipate being killed. As harmless as a gun was to Saber, she could see the man attempting to aim for the dog-eared... boy? who had not yet taken cover. He wanted to shoot before he was stopped.

Excalibur's blade hit him in the chest and went through in an instant. Saber would not let any civilians be killed.

On the catwalks, a figure entirely clothed in black cloth, wrapped in it from head to toe, turned to face Nono. They were accompanied by a large number of armed men, each clothed in dark body armor and feature-obscuring headwraps and goggles, carrying what looked like high-powered rifles with swords upon their backs.

The figure shrouded in cloth let out a sigh, her voice indicating she was female. "There goes the surprise."

With that, she seized the cloth and tore it from her body, [revealing an elegant woman in a strange white with long, straight black hair, her eyes crimson](http://safebooru.org//images/1105/d13773dd720f2b9ce1902ecb1c246cd8d3096ba8.jpg?1148182). The sword remained in its sheath. Her frown turned into a smile as her eyes traveled across Nono's frame.

"At least she's a cute one," she said, licking her lips, "Come and get me, dog of the UMMA."

Her eyes narrowed, as she casually jerked her head to the side. Almost immediately her guards leaned over the railing to take aim at Gintoki and Kuzaku.

**Research Facility**

There was a faint 'woosh' from behind the sealed door, something unlikely to be noticed when it was torn off its hinges and promptly chewed to bits. However, what would likely be of notice was what was behind it.

She was a young girl, or so it seemed, no older than fourteen, with short white hair. Her skin was incredibly pale, her eyes blue. She wore a skintight bodysuit, though the left arm was cut off. For in place of an organic arm was a doll-like prosthetic. Strapped to her back was what appeared to be a large anti-material rifle, almost as big as the girl herself was.

In her prosthetic hand, she held a pistol, pointed at Charlotte. Her expressionless face unchanging, she pulled the trigger.
